Additional Backup Information:
This amendment will provide continued supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) equipment, software installation, and support services. Austin Water’s mission-critical SCADA systems monitor and control the various water and wastewater facilities, including treatment plants, water distribution pump stations, reservoirs, and wastewater collection lift stations.
Austin Water unexpectedly needs to replace 15 obsolete programmable logic controllers at wastewater facilities, upgrade and automate the controls of aeration blowers at a wastewater treatment plant and install pressure monitoring equipment for the reclaimed water system. These projects are necessary to maintain Austin Water’s SCADA systems.
